INTRODUCTION
ORGANISATION OF INDIAN ARMY

• The present day Indian Army is one of the
  foremost fighting armies of the world.
• It is a thoroughly professional force that has
  vast combat experience.
• The organisation draws its customs, traditions,
  ethos and basic character from the erstwhile
  British Indian Army.
• At the time of independence in 1947, due to
  partition of India, the old Indian Army was also
  divided. Since then, the Army has been constantly
  re-organised and modernised to suit the peculiar
  varied geographical and geo-political situation
  of the nation.
• The Army since independence has taken part in
  the following major operations-
• Kashmir Operations against Pakistan 1947-48.
• Sino-Indian Operations in NEFA (Arunachal) and
  Ladakh 1962.
